Iran's Quds Force, the external operations arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps led by Esmail Qaani, issued a threatening statement against Israel and the US, vowing to continue fighting "until the elimination of Zionism."
In the statement, the organization warned that "the gates of hell will remain open to the enemy." It accused "the criminal American administration and the Zionist entity" of attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran "in violation of international law and in disregard of human morality."
According to the statement, the attacks targeted "the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Ali Khamenei, several prominent commanders and the Iranian people, leading to their deaths."
"Today, after the enemy has crossed all the red lines of humanity and international law, the continuation of the fight is a legitimate duty," the Quds Force declared. "The enemy must know that the days of calm are over and it will no longer enjoy security anywhere in the world, not even in its own home. We will continue the struggle until the elimination of global arrogance and international Zionism."
